Typing stubs for pyperclip
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use pyperclip and run static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained. Install it alongside pyperclip in your dev or type-checking dependencies. If you don't use type checkers, it provides no value.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- The actual pyperclip package must be installed separately for runtime use.
- Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-pyperclip is a type stub package that supplies type annotations for the pyperclip clipboard library. It allows static type checkers like mypy (1.20.0) and pyright (1.1.408) to understand and validate code that calls pyperclip functions, catching type errors before runtime. The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project and tracks pyperclip version 1.11.*.
Type stubs are pure metadata—they contain no executable code and add zero runtime overhead. You install this package alongside pyperclip to enable type checking in your IDE and CI pipelines. It requires Python 3.10 or later and has no runtime dependencies.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that calls pyperclip.paste() or pyperclip.copy() without false positives
- Catch clipboard-related type errors in IDE type hints and linters before deployment
- Maintain type safety in projects that mix clipboard operations with strictly typed business logic
